Right now child abuse victims have to go to the different agencies located throughout the county and tell their story numerous times to many different people.
The Monmouth County Child Advocacy Center will be a child-friendly facility where all of the multi-disciplinary professional who responds to child abuse victims will coordinate their investigation and provide follow-up services.
“It’s proven that when you have a coordinated effort when it comes to a child abuse case it does help not only the victim to heal that much more quickly, but also to help with the prosecution of the people who have committed the crime,” says Terrence Loftus with the Friends of the Monmouth County Child Advocacy Center.
The grand opening of phase one of the center is 10 AM Monday at the facility on Kozloski Road in Freehold.
